Beautiful unique setting great food

We had difficulty finding Mer at first. The location in Apple Maps took us 800m away. But we were determined. It’s 250m from Shinjuku-gyoemmae station if that helps anyone.

The setting is homely, warm, welcoming and wholesome. It felt special.
The staff were beautiful.
Food delicious. Service relaxing. The music is live and lovely. It felt like being at a friends house.

We had, pickles, hummus, grilled vegetables, Japanese mushrooms, fried rice balls. For Drinks, we tried the house made soda. The Japanese Forrest soda was sooo good.

I’m so happy we found this place.

Pros: Great food and flavour , Beautiful staff (some sing and play piano), Warm and relaxing

Cons: Hard to find

Very relaxing

Been here a couple of times with my boyfriend . The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The owners are very kind and friendly.
You will find feminist messages as well as pamphlets against ocean animals capturing and ocean pollution.
The menu is diverse and the food is really good.

Pros: Ambience , Staff, Support of important causes

Cosy cute place

We stumbled across this place by chance, and I’m very glad we did - the staff / owners are super delightful and friendly, and are genuinely interested in getting to know their customers. The vegan options are marked clearly (though the menu is in Japanese so some clever use of Google translate is required) and the dishes we tried were superb. Homemade hummus made from scratch in front of our eyes, homemade rice flour bread (I only wish we were given more of this) and the ‘whimsical’ fried rice was great. Food took a little while on account for there only being one chef, but it was worth it.

Really good place

The food was amazing and the menu is clearly labelled for vegan food.

The staff was amazing and the place is really cozy. One of the owner even played piano!

There is also a selection of artisanal beer
